2nd Law of Code Generation

I don't know what the first law is, but I'm basing the 2nd law of code generation around the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Basically, when you use a code generator, business value only decreases. That's why you should start at the highest level.

I'm working on some tools that generate code from documentation.
